Steering wheel
I found that the above comes in two variants, PS/PC and XBOX/PC. While the former is currently supported via an external driver (new-lg4ff), the latter has native kernel support. While I do expect to have a smoother experience with the native module, the custom driver claims to have a richer feature set than the native hid-logitech module (differences).

What should I expect from Force Feedback in American Truck Simulator?
Go to the game settings and adjust the FF levels. (Except if you're on Linux, you'll also need the experimental kernel module, as the stock one has only rudimentary FF support).

Sim racing on Linux/Steam Deck 2022 an update
The people Behind the logitech driver new-lg4ff most logitech wheels work fantastic now.

Please open-source ghub so I can make a software that's actually worth a shit.
On Linux there's libratbag/Piper for keyboards and mice and new-lg4ff/Oversteer for steering wheels, if you want to take a look at how they do some things or straight up just fork them and port to Windows.
- new-lg4ff 0.4.0 adds support for Logitech G923 PS/PC wheels
- Does steam input support steering wheels?
-
Linux gamers, what is making you stay?
You want this for your G29 if you haven't already installed it. I will admit that sim racing is a blind spot in Proton's support, but this should at least fix some of the wheel-related problems.
-
Any type of steering wheel to avoid?
In my opinion the best (community) support at the moment is from Logitech. I have one and it works very well with the new-lg4ff driver. I know the creator, u/berarma, and I know that the support is active. If you need an opinion on models, the G27 (second hand) or the G29 work great on Linux with new-lg4ff.

Has anyone used one of these?
Come on over to /r/hotasDIY. Best thing to do would be to get an STM32 Bluepill, get a 2 axis joystick from Adafruit (MPN: 245), get a breadboard (MPN: 4539), and some jumper wires (MPN: 1956). Then you can flash the Bluepill with Freejoy firmware and set it up with their configurator, no coding required.

FreeJoy Configuration Question
See the bottom most reply: https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoy/issues/52
- What do we do with the ancient joystick?
-
Leo Bodnar alternatives
FreeJoy is a nice firmware for a game controller, but the used "Blue Phil" (STM32F103C8 ) boards very poor - build quality, components.
-
Could someone please explain this to me.
Similar - FreeJoy, but for STM32F103C8 - 'Blue Phil" cards, even more cheap.
- I saw lot of people showing their simpit. so heres mine
- poor CK37 Panel based on FreeJoy
-
What is this, and why are you running? (II, 8 months revision)
7: Software: Will use Freejoy in a custom made "blue pill" that sits in the handle. More on it later.
- controlling computer with ev3?

Achievement unlocked. When VKBsim praises your DiY work
No, the joystick base has a gimbal with hall sensors (no wear) and it's fully analog XY sensing. It also has a hall analog twist axis built in the upper handle. It runs FreeJoy firmware on a custom shaped bluepill (STM32F103C8T6). It gets fully identified as a usb joystick and works as normal. It can accept about 25 direct buttons and 8 analog axis, or up to 256 buttons using an array with diodes (that's for simpits, I suppose).
What are some alternatives?
